"Vercept, a graduate of Seattle's AI-focused incubator A12, developed cloud-based agents capable of controlling a remote MacBook, part of a broader effort to rethink how work gets done as enterprises explore AI-driven task automation beyond chat and code generation."
"Together, the moves suggest Anthropic is working to embed more sophisticated "agentic" workflows directly into its core platform."
Anthropic has acquired Vercept, a Seattle-based AI startup that developed cloud-based agents capable of controlling remote MacBooks. This acquisition represents consolidation in the AI agents market, which focuses on automating work through software operation rather than traditional chat and code generation. The purchase follows Anthropic's December acquisition of coding agent engine Bun. Together, these acquisitions indicate Anthropic's strategic effort to integrate sophisticated agentic workflows into its core platform, enabling enterprises to automate complex tasks through AI-driven automation.
